Best female: this is tough. I'm just going to give it to Jill. When Kara gets both technique and performance together in a routine at the same time, she's up at the top.

Best male: if it was just technique then it would be Colin Jackson, who I adored, but again - when he got technique and performance right then nobody could hold a candle to Ramps, so he edges it for me.

I like threads like this, and I know it's a bit sad, but I've done some quick totting-up (hope you don't mind, Moonbean):

Females:

Jill: 19
Alesha: 18
Rachel: 11
Zoe: 5
Kara: 4
Lisa: 2
Denise: 1

(Interesting result here, because I did a similar exercise last year on the BBC forums, but for best female celeb not to win SCD, and Rachel won, with Zoe second.)

Males:

Colin: 18
Ramps:17
Ricky: 12
Tom: 2
Matt B: 2
Austin: 1
Gethin: 1
Matt d'A: 1

Again, it's close at the top - a few more votes could change everything...

So, I thought...

Best woman: Rachel Stevens
Best man: Austin Healy, or Tom Chambers, who gets criticised but his show dance with Camilla was fab.

Who would other people pick?”

Best female Jill Halfpenny
Best Male Colin Jackson

Best Female: ohh this is so hard! I wish I could have a combination of these three in one!

Jill Halfpenny - best technically and in terms of performance, but something still about her after all this time that I can't quite love

Kara Tointon - beautiful technically, and she is ALMOST there on performance - just needs to find it inside herself to fall in love with the dance and not be quite so self-conscious and just simply lose herself in it rather than worrying about what everyone thinks - if she can just drag that out fully (and I think she has started to do it), she'd be my number one over all the series.

Alesha - best performer by far out of everyone, but poor technically I thought.

Best male:

Can't decide between two so have to split equally

Colin Jackson/Ricky Whittle

Interesting to see who people have picked! It's quite tough, cos some of the celebs have almost been as good as the pros!

Female: Jill Halfpenny. Easily. That jive is the best dance ever

Male: Tougher call. Probably Ramps, but Colin was pretty good as well.

Agree completely. If anything I loved both her tangos more than the Rumba.

Best female: Kara ..but I am slightly tempted to give a mention to Kelly Brook too, perhaps controversially

Best male: Ramps or Ricky Whittle.

Best female: Alesha

There have been other more accurate, precise dancers, but Alesha really was a showstopper, hasn't been a dancer that made the same impact before or since.

Best Male: Ricky W

Mark Ramprakash would be a close second, but Ricky is the only male celeb that at times could have passed for a pro. I think peoples judgement is sometimes clouded by who they like or dislike, Ricky and Nat were not a very engaging couple, but he really was an exceptional dancer.

Female: Rachel

Male: Sorry but, today it's Colin; tomorrow it probably would be Ricky they were both so bliddy good. Colin made me cry with his Rumba; Ricky with his Waltz. There were times when I actually thought Ricky was the pro and Natalie was the celeb but, with Colin and Erin they were a perfect partnership. Such was Erin's choreography I always felt they were equal. Sorry about the ramblings but, I'm trying to sort out who I think is the best and I really can't choose.

Favourite Female Denise Lewis best probably Alesha Dixon [better dancer than judge!]

Favourite Ramps - maybe not technically the best but managed to convey the joy of dancing.

I do believe Matt may have a great dance in him - when it does come off it will be absolutely fantastic.

To ever so slightly change the topic, I'm wondering if in future SCD series we will see the producers do what they did in the last two seasons of the US DWTS?

Namely, the producers put in "ringers", i.e., professional dancers who end up looking so much better than everybody else that they were the obvious choice.

If they did this then "the best" list would be put out of kilter, as people who dance for a living will naturally look better than those who do it only for a lark (or a once-in-a-lifetime TV series.)
